9 bids on it so far. Looks nice, but I don't know anything about historical flasks.

I'd say fake. Looks like a cup mold base and I think these were hinge mold. Also there looks to be absolutely no base wear. Very pretty though.

Yep. I was curious to see what the seller would say if I asked and he said it was a Spanish reproduction. The ad is pretty misleading with it's "appears to be" statement. He didn't put the question and answer in the ad either.

Yeah, that is a pretty slimy description for that auction. Anybody who's bidding on that should know better though, so they might learn the hard way.

Just to clarify, this one was real, right? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260459937891&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT
I don't know anything about these, but when you compare the 2, the one I just linked to looks 'right' and the other one looks 'wrong'.
Thanks!

Okay, I am going to take a wild guess without lookig at the responses. I am a Sagittarius, so I am honest.
I will say fake, because, it just looks too perfect. It could be attic condition, which would explain the lack of wear (casewear?), and it being so mint, but it's just a hunch. Looks sort of '70's to me.
I'll either be laughing at myself, or thinking I still have a lot to learn when I get to the bottom of this thread.[
